TAHOE'S QUEER ANTICS.
h Like Rises and Falls Four
Inches.

People who have just come down
from the Lake state that Tuesday
morning about 9 O'Clock the people at
Glenbrook became aware OF the fact
that the lake was rising. The surface
was calm and the water rose so fast
that as it crept in on the shore the
advance was quite noticeable. 1t rose
four inches in an hour and there was
great excitement at Glenbrook. The
first man who discovered it was an
old colored barber and he rushed into
the Glenbrook House with his story
which was at first not believed. Then
everybody crowded down to the beach
and just as they had made up their
minds that it might, probably, rise
and inundate the town, it came to a
standstill and then began to recede.
Ii raised four inches and went back
to its original place. The movement
OF the water occupied from about nine
O'Clock until three. 1t was stationary
at noon.
1t is to be regretted that no scien-
tifc and accurate observation was
made as the accounts given by dill
1erent people are conflicting, but all
agree that the water rose and fell at
least four inches, although some claim
more.-Carson Appeal.

REAE AND FALSE MODEsTY.
4 Blush Something Sacred to True
H0InanhoUt..

1t would be well ii young women were
taught early in life that there is 4 false
shame and an afectation Of modesty as
uulovely as foyBardness and which repels
as effectively as brazenness. To be on
the qui vive for i~nnuendoes, to have a
smar faculty 10, extracting the bitters
OF evil from any good, is ali wrong and
immodest. The young woman who
thought she would die OF shame because
some gentleman came into the gallery
where she was alone with the statue OF
the venus Of Milo, and fell into confusion
and blushed nightly, advertised a
nodesty that was only skin deem. a
blush is something sacred to pure
w~omanhood, and it is 4 sad spectacle for
thoughtful eyes to note a young woman
so far gone in the ~improprieties that she
pretends to be shocked at things which
simple, unaffected candor, is far from
thinking on at all. There are otherwise
modest and virtuous young ladies who
manage TO convey by subtle insinuations
that they are deeply conscious of scenes
which a really modest woman would ig.
more. It IS true, indeed, as a great
writer has said, that a modest woman
must be at times both deaf and blind.
~Disagreeable happenings, offensive to
eyes and ears, are at times incidental to
almost every ones life. The most shell.
tered young lady cannot be entirely pro-
tected. She may find herself in a place
where profane language reaches her ears,
when Objectionable sights greet her eyes.
1t is then the time for her modesty to
take on an armor of dignity; it is the
time for her to be both deaf and blind.
There are many things in life that
young women ought to know OF, and
which if they would regard as great
solemn truths, too sacred to be giggled
over and simpered at, which are not
proper subjects for conversation. but
which none the less exist, and should be
well comprehended. For a young woman
Or a young man, either-there is no
safety in ignorance. The mother as.
sumes unwarranted responsibility who
leaves her Innocent, growing girls and
boys to be educated in the mysteries of
life by ~unthinking outsiders. Constant
rubbing cannot wear off the delicate
hue of the seashell, nor can the real
purity of mind, the real modesty of
~womanhood, be more easily worn away.
Mock modesty is twin sister to that
cancer'hearted virtue which consists in
not being found ont. Persons who affect
it are social "subiects." Beware OF il,
young woman, because it deceives no
one, and because if you do not. Young
men who are in search of lovely wives
will beware Of y~ou.-Salt Lake Enter.

apparently attracted thereto by some
electromagnetic influence. This ne
port lacks that quality and quantity Of
continuation needed TO give it scien-
tifc value, and is in certain respects
only a new version OF the statement
made of the effects of railways in in
creasing the rainfall in the State OF
Kansas. We believe it is a fact that
with the progress OF the railways
westward the rainfall in Kansas has
increased, and that copious showers
now fall upon wide tracks OF territory
in the west OF the State that were
looked upon years ago as almost des-
ert regions in consequence OF the con
tinuous absence OF rain. But this
change would seem 10 be due not so
much to the direct as the indirect in
Huence of the railroad systems. The
settlements OF prairie lands, the plant
ing, not only Of stock, but groves OF
trees, have marked meteorological
changes, in reverse OF the way that
the destruction Of forests in other parts
OF the world has had the effect of re-
ducing the amount OF rainfall, and of

Some years ago Edison, the electric
wizard, was convinced that platinum ex.
listed in North Carolina. He sent VIII,
lam Earl Hidden, an accomplished min
erologist, in search OF It. Professor
Hidden little knew at the time how full
of results to him that pursuit Of platinum
would be. He could not find the de,
sired mineral, but he found something
far better. Being in Alexander county,
4 quiet part Of the State, many miles
from a railway, he was directed by Mr..
J. 4. D. Stephenson to gem-oearing
ground, and looking more narrowly,
found SOM Of the gems. He purchased
some land. returned to Edison, and re-
ported his vain quest Of platinum, then
came back to North Carolina. He went
TO work to develop his mine. Sinking a
shaft in asimple way, he gradually made
the opening larger until specifically the
mine presented the aspect Of 4 stone
quarry. OIt of this rude pit in the
earth were taken unnumbered gems
n hitherto unknown. To this Mr.. J.
Lawrence Smith, Of St. Louis. an EN-.
inent scientist, gave Hidden's name. and
"Hiddenite, the equivalent Of the dia.
mond in value, became instantly the
fashion. Its tender-tinted green crYs.
tails, its intense hardness and It's new
beauties when cut, were only some of its
charms. From the day Of its discovery
TO the present it has been a hopeless task
TO supply the demand for il. Every
Hiddenite found is already purchased
long in advance.
Bat strange as is this flashing, green
miracle Of the earth. the place Of its
birth is still stranger. The Iaborers who
are working in the mine handle their
picks with the greatest care. They are
on the watch for "pockets." Possibly
for an hour the digging goes on and no
pocket is struck. Presently the pick
into al opening, with tender fingers
the earth is partially removed and finally
the miner feels with his hands every por.
ton OF the walls Of the opening. Il may
happen that his search is in vain, but It
is oftner the case that his fingers touch
crystals that are SO imbedded in
the sides of the pocket that their points
project outward. They are carefully
out. Perhaps all are beryls;
perhaps there are a dozen kinds Of gems,
or yet again it may be that there are
only Hiddenites. Sometimes gems worth
hundreds Of dollars are thus taken from
one pocket.

Uncle Sam and the Wires,

The business of transmitting messages
by wire is necessarily a monopoly. a
business that requires millions upon mil,
lions of capital and covers the whole
country cannot well be otherwise.
This is the very reason why it should
be controlled by the Government. II
there must be a monopoly let it be a PEG.
pies monopoly, controlled by the elected
representatives, of the people.
The New York Herald truly declares
that the time is ripe for a movement OF
this kind. There can be little question
that the masses Of the people desire il.
That the ~workingmen do so is shown
clearly enough by the action OF the Min.
neapolis Convention OF the Knights OF
Labor, which pledged the knights not to
vote for any member OF Congress who
do not favor the change; and also by
the platform Of the United Labor party
in New York, which unqnalifedly de.
mands Government control Of the tele.
graph.
The principle is not new. The trainers
OF the Constitution recognized the neces-
sity Of making the letter carrying
monopoly a peoples monopoly. The
telegraph had not then been invented,
but in the advance OF civilization it has
become substantially what the letter car.
rying business was to the people then.
The same reason which in 1857 led the
founders Of the Government to establish
the Government Postofice, now make it
necessary that the people shall establish
Government telegraph.
There is no more sense in leaving tele-
graphy TO private monopoly than there
